[Andreas Freytag]

Hello,

I cant get any information about a song while it worked when i used
mandriva :/ I am using version 1.3.7 from kubuntu.org
Is it working for someone here? (and please tell what you did ;) )

I'm using version amarok2:1.3.8-0ubuntu1 It came from a repository at

"http;//kubuntu.org/packages/amarok-latest
The link came from a source
list generator at [url]http://www.tulinux.nl/source-o-matic[/url] I also downloaded
just about everything you can get by searching in synaptic for "amarok".
The only exceptions being the ipod driver and the multimedia keyboard
plugin since I don't have either an ipod or a multimedia keyboard.

I am really fairly new to linux and ubuntu, but I do get info for all
songs now. Well, not all songs, but most. Do you get no info for any?
One thing I have found that sometimes works when I get tired or trying
to edit folders and nothing else seems to work is to go into synaptic
and delete and reinstall. I just had an issue with Thunderbird. I lost
my save messages and could not get anything to save. I altererd settings
and permissions, but still could not get it functioning properly. I
deleted and reinstalled and everything works. Might try that if you
don't get a better answer. Again I say this is just a month under my
belt and you may get a better answer from someone else.

Arrrgh!! I just saw that the link got mangled in editing the post. It
should be:
[url]http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic[/url]
Sorry about that
